Vivian who gave birth to a

Their arrest was made
possible by Vivian’s father, Mr Patrick Iwuji who reported to the police that him and his wife were aware
that their daughter, Vivian was pregnant but he was not convinced of his
daughter explanation about the where-about of his grand-child.
According to Mr Patrick
Iwuji, “She told us that she was going to
the hospital to deliver and when we visited her we asked her about the baby.
She told us that the baby was dead. “I didn’t believe her and there was no
trace that my daughter’s baby was dead.
I
had to report to the police. Later the case was transferred to the Anti-Human
Trafficking Unit for investigation.
“It
was there that my own daughter with her boyfriend confessed that they sold the baby
boy for the sum of N620,000 to one
Ehegalara Edwin.”
On August 11, 2014 it was
